Before a soda can gets to the store…before it has soda in it…before it’s even a can, it is part of the earth!

Soda cans are made of a metal called aluminum. We need aluminum for airplanes, cars, bicycles and many household items – not just soda cans.

Aluminum cans when recycled, are sent to factories where they are ground up into little metal chips. Then they are melted down and turned into solid aluminum bars. The bars are rolled into sheets of aluminum, which are then sold to can makers who make new cans out of them.

There is no limit to the number of times aluminum can be melted down and reused. Recycling save energy as well as aluminum. [B][I](CoCo)[/I][/B]
